The Effect of Uterine Entry in Fetoscopic Laser Photocoagulation for Twin-To-Twin Transfusion Syndrome

Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the entry technique surgeons use to get inside the uterus to perform fetoscopic laser photocoagulation for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome has an effect on the rates of chorioamniotic membrane separation.
